Troopers, regardless of their rank, can find themselves in dangerous situations

On 8/12/2020, during the morning rush hour traffic, State Police Troop F received numerous 911 calls reporting a female running across I-95. Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel John Eckersley was traveling through the area on general patrol and able to safely and with confidence step into the high speed travel lane and pull the erratic and distressed female out of harm’s way, preventing her from being struck by oncoming traffic. Just another example of the dedication and service of your Connecticut State Police.
